  That's peculiar, it shouldn't have worked at all.  The "ncurses.h" file
doesn't live in /usr/include directly, but in a subdir called
/usr/include/ncurses, so with your #include statement as you have it there, I get:

> $ gcc h.c  -lncurses
> h.c:1:21: error: ncurses.h: No such file or directory

when I try to compile your example.  If I change the example to #include
"ncurses/ncurses.h", I get a fully working compile.

  It seems possible you have a bogus ncurses.h in your /usr/include, for some
reason?  You should make sure you have installed the regular cygwin
libncurses-devel package (using setup.exe) to get the ncurses headers and link
libraries (maybe you should try reinstalling it even if you do already have it).

    cheers,
      DaveK

This was generated by ./configure
Can I tweak the Makefile so that the command line args appear in
the correct order ? If yes, could you explain me how (maybe it's
too complicated to explain like that, but I'm still asking).

I would suggest modifying the Makefile.in file in the source and
submitting a patch to the package maintainer.

Yes you can do it in the makefile, how you do it.. hard to say if I
don't have it ;-) Send the makefile in my direction and I can throw an
eye at it.

(Global problem.. how come configure put it here, is it something for
cygwin to look into, or is it a bad configure that comews with
litestep or whatever??)

Seems to be edb, they had hardcoded something like:

edb_vt_ed_LDFLAGS = -lncurses

in the Makefile.in

        /Andy

p.s. I don't know why I always typed litestep instead of edb

these functions I think are supposed to be in libintl.
I have tried adding #include <libintl.h>. All it does is removing the _imp__

The gcc command line has -L/lib and /lib contains libintl.a libintl.dll.a,

Re: ncurses

[Paul Wilson]

The problem with some GNU configure utils is that they pipe their
commands to /dev/null. Last I tried to create a /dev/null using mknod, I
couldn't create it with the exact major and minor device numbers, so
creating /dev/null won't fix the problem. Just edit out the >/dev/null
from the configure script where configure checks for gcc. It should work
find afterwards.

On b20.0 / NT, /dev/null does work even if ls doesn't see it.

Try doing `sh -x configure' instead of `./configure', to see what it
is trying to do and why it thinks gcc doesn't work.

(You might try Paul's suggestion first, though, just to check whether
I'm speaking garbage.)

Actually, /dev/null has worked for some time.  As noted, you can't do a
'ls -l /dev/null' but we're working on that.

ncurses

[bytor]

I have ported an ncurses application to win95 with cdk, but I am having
trouble with the terminfo stuff... I know it looks at the TERMINFO
environment variable under *nix, but what about win95? I would prefer this
to be a standalone app distributed with only the .exe, dll and terminfo
file(s)...

ncurses

[Reuben Collver]

Hi,

  I've installed the win32 port of ncurses that I found at
http://www.wenet.net/~garbanzo/gnuwin32/
  I also installed the terminfo database, but deccided to try to use a
termcap file instead.

  I've successfully compiled a program of mine that uses termcap.
gcc -O -s -o byc byc.c -lncurses -DTERMCAP_FILE

  I downloaded my termcap file off my linux box and put it in /etc/termcap

  Afterwards, I set up the following environment variables
TERM=vt100
TERMINFO=/etc/termcap

  I am running an ansi device driver named nansi.sys, which is hopefully
close enough to vt100 for testing purposes when it comes to interpreting
the escape sequences.

  When I start up the program, I read the TERM environment variable and use
the tgetent() call to detect the termcap entry.

  tgetent() fails, and I am not sure why.  Anyone bored enough to help me
get curses/terminfo programs working right with gnu-win32?  I'd be grateful
=)

Ben.

ncurses

[Marcus S. Yoo]

I've been seeing many messages about ncurses,
and compiling other programs using ncurses (vim, clear, etc).
My questions is this. Where can I get my hands on the latest
ncurses source code? What is the latest version?
I'm not sure when/where I got it from, but I have something
called ncurses-1.9. Is this the one that I should try to
install on my win95/b18?
As always, any and all help/tips are greatly apreciated.

Ack, nevermind, please ignore the previous post, it turns out I 
should have been putting the termcap files in 
/usr/local/share/termcap/*/* ;)

Hello-

I love your list but I am finding it easier to keep up via the digests.
I used to be subscribed though matthew.harttree@cplc.com and I am away
from that address for the next two or three months.  I am currently
dialing in over a very slow modem connection and would like to have the
list traffic removed.

Could you please  manually unsubscribe 
matthew.harttree@cplc.com 
from your list.


Thanks so much

Matthew Harttree

Re: ncurses

[Hmmmz]

Has anyone secussfully gotten ncurses 1.9.9e or newer to compile and  
work? I've gotten to the point where it seems to compile fine, 
however tic fails miserably, and even if I manually attempt to 
salvage some of the terminfo entries and put them in 
/usr/lib/termcap/* , it _still_ won't recognize them.  Help anyone?
